"Yukarism" Chapter 8

First of all, I would like to acknowledge the effort the team of Omari's Sister translators put into page 6.  There was a lot of :/, but after a couple of days of e-mail exchanges, I think we got a decent translation.
----------------------
It's been a while since we've had a chapter of "Yukarism".  Hopefully, this chapter is worth the wait and hopefully the way the chapter ends will help you understand why I held onto it until now.  In this chapter we, along with Yukari, learn a lot about Mahoro.  We also start getting glimpses of what happened between Yuumurasaki, Takamura, and Kazuma in the past and those glimpses give us some insight into Yukari's detached personality.  These are only just glimpses, though, leaving us with many unanswered questions about the past and Yukari.  And now onto the links:

My Thoughts on the Chapter (SPOILERS AHEAD!)

It seems from this chapter that perhaps Yuumurasaki never had any deep feelings for Takamura or at least at that point in the past.  It makes me wonder which Yuumurasaki Takamura was in love with.  If Yuumurasaki was always even tempered, then Yukari's emotional break as he's remembering his mother's death (chapter 7) must has been a special moment for Takamura.

Anyhow, it seems that Yukari has carried over Yuumurasaki's emptiness into his present existence. Perhaps that's the thing that Yukari has to resolve to break free of the past.  He's at least trying with Mahoro, but his attempts at connection seem awkward at best.  It was more like he went on a surveillance mission than to actually "visit" Mahoro and her family.

Kazuma keeps on getting freakier.  Sooo...Yuumurasaki is his younger sister?  Why doesn't Yuumurasaki know that?  And...does Kazuma have an ...ahem..."unhealthy" love for his sister.  The whole situation makes me wonder whether he "got rid" of their parents after they sold off Yuumurasaki.  Kazuma seems like that kind of lunatic.  It's very easy to understand why everything goes to sh** and folks end up bleeding from sword wounds and burning up in a fire.  Oh, man, one heck of a train wreck awaits us...

Up Next!  I don't know!  It depends on what get cleaned and ready to typeset first.  Haha!  I guess it will be a surprise :).
